Every Thursday at noon (PST) / 9 pm (CEST), join our meditation class with Venerable XianPu.
We begin with a short sharing, followed by guidance on posture and technique for newcomers.
This week, we explored when to meditate at work and how to stay calm before difficult meetings.
Together, we recite Amitabha’s name, then sit in silence—finding peace and clarity within.

In this new Dharma Glimpse we explore how Chan practice helps us let go of stress, anger, and anxiety. The mind becomes still, like a pond when the wind stops blowing.
Meditation is not an escape: it’s learning how not to pollute our surroundings with negativity, and how to return to inner clarity.

"If you do not know what a mantra means, then you should be very careful about who transmits it to you."

Care in choosing our teachers is itself part of wisdom. This guidance is shared in the Chan Handbook II by Master YongHua – Link: https://a.co/d/9fIeifa

Last Thursday with Venerable XianPu, we revisited the basics of posture and shared guidance with a new student beginning their path. We also reflected on how often the mind judges others — and how awareness softens that habit.

Each class is a gentle space to learn, share, and calm the heart through Amitabha recitation and silent sitting.

Today we share a new Dharma Glimpse: a reflection on the Mahayana path and the practice of Chan, which guides us to cultivate the mind and return to our original goodness.

What habits most cloud your heart, and which ones would you like to let go of?

We often believe we are free, yet we remain slaves to our own desires. We work, suffer, distract ourselves… and repeat. When do we break the cycle?
✨ Reflect: What desire keeps you trapped today?

"To the Chan purist, labeling your activities already requires “thinking” and is not necessary. If you train yourself to focus on your navel, “residing at your headquarters or central command” if you will, it will naturally make you more aware of the task at hand."

Awareness grows not by adding more, but by returning to center. This reflection appears in the Chan Handbook II by Master YongHua – Link: https://a.co/d/9fIeifa
